Oh yeah! Now this is more like it! Announce the pre-order date already!

I am....disappointed.

The toy and its gimmicks look wonderful and all. But being in another scale is a big turn off for me. My entire valk collection is in 1/60. Which is why I've managed to somehow resist the HMR line, despite it having the enemy mecha.

This is like asking someone who invested serious capital into Blu-ray, to suddenly re-collect all his movies in 4k. 

Good luck with the pre-order madness guys!

(Slight OT warning) So I started to crave for vehicles for my Figuarts and Figmas to ride around in. I checked online and saw that Maisto's 1/12 motorbikes go well with the Figuarts and Figmas. I checked our local stores here in Saudi to see if they carry the Maisto 1/12 series motorbikes (they do sell Maisto diecasts here, but only the smaller scales), and ended up buying this:

Its a Rastar 1/12 scale RC of the Aventador-J.  I thought it would be the perfect ride for Tony Stark. Unfortunately, my Figuarts Tony wouldn't fit in it out of the box. I had to do some disassembly and major surgery with a Dremel Cutter to get the figures to fit as shown. Not exactly a perfect fit, but it satisfies my craving somewhat. 

Hacchaka has posted reviews of some new Figuarts, namely the Ragnarok Thor and Infinity War Captain America.

His pic below shows just how much Bandai has improved in terms of sculpt, color details and character likeness:

War Machine is looking nice!

With the release of the Mark 7, I've decided that I'll complete the Hall of Armor with the first 7 series of Iron Man's armors, along with the Silver Centurion (Mark 33), Mark 42, 43, 44, 45, 46 and 50. Missed out on the Mark 47/Spiderman bundle. It they re-release Mark 47 as a standalone, I might get one.

I'm also going to complete the War Machine suits too (with the exception of Iron Patriot), so I'll be in line for the Mark IV.

That Falcon and the Hulk are looking mighty tempting too...

Whoa! They’re doing a Figuarts Silver Centurion? I was a huge fan of this design from the comics way back in the late eighties. I’m definitely in for this, though I’m not a fan of the other House Party Protocol suits. The Silver Centurion is my second favorite suit, after the Mark 7. 

Speaking of which, do I spy two versions of the Mark 7? Or is that the Mark 9? If so, are they going to make like Hot Toys and release it alongside Pepper Potts?

Finally caved and pre-ordered the re-issue Ray and Stick Mospeadas. Was a huge fan of these when I first encountered them in R0b0t3ch. But I’m a little bummed that they cost as much as a DX Valk. Reviews have been good overall, with most of the criticism leveled at the Ride Armor mode. Just glad that they’re in 1/12 scale. Will have a lot of fun mixing these with my Figmas, Figuarts and Little Armory collection. 

Glad I browsed this thread! I had been waiting for the Delta Movie BD release for a while. Pre-ordered one at CDJapan. Thanks for the info guys!

Wow you’re on a roll Noel! 31A, four ride armors and a PF SDF? That’s no small chunk of change you must have shelled out for those! You’re making Shizuka look bad.

Here's mine.  It's a tricky area to light and photograph, but it looks cool.  

Thanks Tekering! That looks cool indeed! Now I'm thinking of how best to display mine to show off the city as well.

From the previous page.

Thanks Sanity, already saw the pic from Mommar. Was wondering if there are other pics available showing the city on the premium.

Is it confirmed that Macross city has flourescent highlights on the PF? Any other pic of the city? Could you please post pics of your copies with the panel removed on Macross City GundamEFSF and Tekering? Thanks!

NY shipping notice received too! SDF-1 HASSHIN!

NY preparation in progress email received for my PF SDF-1. Pretty excited to get this!

Congratulations everyone! Looks like everyone who wanted the YF-19 got to get at least one. 

And now for the VF-31 Armored Parts....

NY now lists YF-19 as Not Available. Oh well. Would have been good to get it at that price. But now I have two confirmed pre-orders: one from Amiami and one from HLJ. I'm sorely tempted to keep both, so that I'll have enough missiles to go around my valks. 

Wow, got the confirmation email from HLJ. Tried with NY, but this time, the spinning wheel of death got me...

Amiami is good right? As long as we get the confirmation email from them?

HLJ already dissed me with the 25S before, so I really can't act safe with them, even with a confirmation email...

NY down again!!!! Its coming people!

Still waiting for NY, just in case...

And got confirmation from amiami. Wow, this is the first time I got a pre-order from them! Hope its legit...

I placed an order with amiami too. HLJ is making me worry with that confirmation email...

NY down again! And still no confirmation email from HLJ! ARGH!

Still no email from HLJ. Getting worried.

Yay, I think I got one from HLJ!
